About

Born on the Gulf, Raised by the Waves!

I grew up surfing Pensacola Beach in the Florida Panhandle and moved to San Diego in my early teens to pursue a career in professional surfing. That path led me into the surf industry, where I spent over 25 years as a rep, deeply connected to the lifestyle and community. In 2000, I moved to Ponce Inlet and immediately fell in love—with the waves, the people, and the unique charm of this stretch of coast. That love for coastal living inspired me to dive into real estate in 2016. Since then, I’ve combined my knowledge of the area with hands-on experience in construction and remodeling—having renovated my own home and others. That background gives me an edge when it comes to helping clients see potential, value, and smart investment opportunities. I specialize in properties from Ormond Beach to New Smyrna, and all the areas in between and west. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling, or looking to invest—I bring a grounded, experienced approach to help you navigate the process with confidence.
